The door closed and locked, and a voice said through a speaker: "You have one hour in the escape room, starting now."
Janine watched her excited friends reading messages on walls, checking under cups, pulling ropes.
"Guys, what are you doing?" she said. "We've already escaped, from out there."

The spaceship floated in front of the man's window, flashing a sign in lights:
We wish to connect. We have technology to share that can save your plant.
The spaceship waited. Then zipped off to another planet.
The man briefly looked up from his phone. It was dark outside. He resumed scrolling.

Ohhhhh.
She held it out, waved her wand. And pulled out a tiny man.
He blinked. It was as though he'd woken from a dream.
But he must still be in one: he stared at the applauding audience, each one of them a rabbit.

When I was a teenager I made a deal with an evil witch that she could have my first-born child in exchange for a lifetime of success and wealth.
By 30 I had enough money to retire, married my childhood sweetheart.
Our baby is six months old now and no sign of the witch.
I couldn't be happier.

His pulse quickened, heart filled with an excitement he had rarely known.
This was the moment, when everything changed, when he-
"Sir, can I have your name for the cup please?"

THE STUCKMAN
I am... I am alive! he said. Gloriously alive!
I can see the world, taste its foods, swim in its seas. I-
Wait. I am... I'm stuck. Hm.
OK, well at least here I can play with the birds, watch the sun rise and set, bask in the seasons-
Hang on: why is my body dripping down my leg?
